How Cool Is This...

Dear Athlete,

Congratulations! We have finalized our first 50 athletes and are excited to announce that you have been selected to become a member of 2006 Team Polar.

After reviewing your application and speaking with you on the phone, we are confident that your athletic goals, enthusiasm and peer influence is a perfect match for Polar. As a brand ambassador, we will look to you to not only be dedicated to athletic excellence, but also 100% committed to the success of the program. This means, that in addition to the 2 training club clinics and 2 retail appearances that are required of you, we hope you will continually be seeking out opportunities to promote Polar.

I apologize to the Kahuna and my Tri-Greek Dreamer teammates out there but I will not be wearing the awesome blue and black at Ironman Florida. Polar HRM is my new clothing sponsor and I am required to wear their team clothing at my races this year and through Ironman Arizona next year.

As part of the contract I get custom team apperal, an RS200sd running computer system and a CS200cad cycling computer system. I am also sent a dozen watches to run local clinics.

The great news is that my training partner, Jeff aka "The Machine", also made the team. Its nice to know that we can do all this together.
